The Lower Lusatia
Flat, water-rich land in southern Brandenburg, shaped by lignite mining and its young lakes.
Niederlausitz is a region in southern Brandenburg and the adjacent northeast of Saxony, a flat landscape of pine forests, heaths and flowing waters. Over decades, lignite open-cast mining has shaped the landscape; many former mines have transformed into the Lausitzer Seenland with its young lakes. To the northwest, the region extends to the Spreewald with its intricate network of waterways. Niederlausitz is also a settlement area of the Sorbs; cycling, paddling and exploring the lake landscape define outdoor activities.
